In the drawing. similar reference characters refer to similar' parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Referring to the drawing, the body of our improved manufacturing and assembling is preferably formed of the members l and 2 having a passage therethrough constituting the second-ariY mixing chamber and delivery passage of the carburetor. The member 1 is provided with an internally threaded nipple i3 for 'the member 2. The fuel' reserifoir is formed by the cup-like member 4, open at the top and bottom. The body member i. is arranged through on the body member l. The body member 2 is provided with an l inclined shoulder 6 which engages the bot` Fig. XIV is a detail perspective of the mem' the valve 83 carbureter for convenience in v tom ot the mei `ber 4 so that when the member is screwed into the nipple il the meml ber 4 is clamped in place and roaetingr with the bcdy ot the rarhureter forms an annular t'uel chamber or reservoir surrounding the bt d v. A\t one `ide` the restfvvoir member t is provided with an tfl't'set inlet chamber 7 to which the -supply pipe 8 is coluiected. The inlet valve is controlled by the annular float lt) which artsl on the lever l1. the lever beiner pivoted at 11 and slotted at 12 to engage the neck il on the valve.

Yl`he level' 1l forked to embrace the body ot' the earbureter. The arms ot the lever are cupped downwardlyat lil to provide spherical bearings for the tloat. The lever is secured to the float by the pins 14' vertically disposed through the bearings 14. The pins loosely engage the bearing to permit tree tilting;r or rocking' movement. This eonnection for the float and the lever holds the tloat out ot' contact with the walls of the reservoir and permits the roclingor tilting of the float with the changingr fuel level caused by rocking or tilting,Y ot the earbureter. The closure plug' 15 serves as a guide for the stem of the valve .1). The member 1 ot' the body in the structure illustrated, is-

provided with a water jacket 11' having connections 17 and 1S, the object being to supply heated water to the jacket when desired. rThe inlet chamber T oli the carburetcr is provided with a. well-lil e defiression 111 and with a drain cock 20. the screen "21 beingy arranged between the inlet chamber and the reservoir so that the sediment is lbllected in the well or trap 19 and may be drawn otf through the cock 520.

rl`htI body member :2 is provideil with a cross bar havin;- a fuel inlet passage 23 opening into the .t'uel reservoir. The cross bar is provided with a conical the primary air and t'uel inlet member '25. The member 35 is provided with a eonieal head titled into this seat and having' a fuel passage 25 registering' with the passage jfl in the bar. 'l`he meinbei 3 has a nipple 2H at its upper end provided with a eentral seat QT t'or the fuel nozzle The air delivery' passages '2H are grouped about the nozzle as clearly shown in Figs. ll'. Y XVI. The nozzle 2S projects above nipple 2V and is tapered upwardly. earburel'ing rhamber member il() having a ear buretinglr chamber 'll therein is mounted upon the nipple of the member '25 for 1'0 tative adjustment thereon. The fuel nozzle 28 pro'ects into the carbureting' chamber 31 throu the bottom 3Q thereof. The bottom 32 trfthey earburetingr chamber serves as an air regulating valve eoaeting with the nozzle Q8. The primary earburetinglV chamber 31 is provided with a discharge .nozzle ha ving an annular slot-like discharge openingr the 33 which delivers into the main chamber ot' i .wat "il tor l and lthe earbureter which constitutes a mixingy chamber.-that is. the mixture of air and tuel or carbureted air delivered from the l carburetingchamber 3l. when the valve 30 is open, mixed with the air passing that l valve. The nezzle is toi-ined by tlange-like parts 34 and 25 which are suitably spaced l to form the annular slot-like delivery opening for the nozzle. The carbureting.;r chaml ll communicates with lthrough a plurality of ports or openings l Clo. See Figs. ll and XVl. The member lt) is provided with a, cam member 37 which l eoacts with ak eam member 3S on the nieml ler Q5 so that when the member fl() is rotated l it raised Vand lowered. thus admitting and cutting ott' the air. To reduce friction We intel-pose rollers Ti' between the cams. The rollers are Carried by the ring T8 which is sleeved upon the ealn member 38. This also controls the fuel valve I3!) which coacts with the fuel nozzle Q8. The member 30 is secured to the inner end of the tubular actuan ing,r member 40 which is rotatably mounted in a bearing 11 in the cap plate 42 tor the water jaeket 16. The stem of the val ve iii) is threaded into the lower end of the member 4t) so that the fuel valve is not materially atleeted bythe `contractingr and expansion due to heating or cooling of the parts. The stem ot' the valve 331 projects from the member L10 and is provided with an adjusting or linger piece L13.

The actuating member 40 is held yieldingly downward by means of the coiled spring 4--1 which rests upon the collar 45 on the member itt), the upper end of thespring engaging the washer-like bearing member 4G for the thrust bearing balls 4i. The in ner end ot' the bearing 41 constitutes the other thrust bearingy member. On the up- `per end of the member l-10 is a head 4S l grooved at 19 to receive the lugs 50 on thel g member 40 as shown in Fig. XlVi The iler the nozzle clampingnut 51 is threaded :into the upper l end ot' the member 4.0 and clamps the member "1S thereto. See Fig. Il, The actuating` i lever 52 is split at 52 and provided with a i clamping screw 54 so that the lever may be adjustedl to any position desired. The valve IW is retained in its adjusted li positions by the friction washer 55 which i bears against the under side of the tinujer l piece A13 and held in t'rietioual rontact therewith by the spriteY .313. whit h is silated in the head "WQ To prevent the friction I washer 55 from turning?, it is provided with depending tingen4 5T which engage the grooves 't9 in the head 49. The head 4S is `chambered to receive the stop member 5S which has a segmental slot Si) tor the :4to i lug' Til on the actuating' member it). The stop member 5S pivots on the member 40 and is adjusted by means o1 the adjusting screws 80. See Fig. XH. lVlth the parts thus arranged, by means of the lever 5'2 the fuel valve is controlled and also the'air supply to the primal-v mixingy ehamber. The throttle valve (l0 which controls the secondary air supply is also controlled or operated through this same means. The throttle valve ll() is rotatably supported in the lower end of the body meniber L! by means of the rollers (31 which engage helically disposed slots 62 in the valve. The valve has upwardly projecting arms o?, which are engaged by lugs (34 projectingr from the cam member 37. "he rollers (il are preferably tapered and mounted on pins (35. The slots 62 being wedgelshaped in cross section to correspond to the taper of the rollers. retain the rollers on the pins. The valve (l0 courts with the disk-like plate 66 which is mounted on the member The member is clamped to the cross bar 22 by means of a nut 67. The plate (56 is secured on the member 25 by means of the nuts 68. one arranged .above and the other below the plate.

In the structure illustrated. we providean air supply or inlet pipe (SS) adapted to be connected to a heating;- coil or the like. not illustrated, for supplying heated air to the carbureter. This inlet. pipe has an elbow sleeved upon the lower end of the body mem ber i2 and secured by means of the coupling member 70 arranged through the bottom of the elbow and threaded upon the lower end of the inlet member 25. The coupling member 70 has kerf-like air inlets 81 therein. (lne of the advantages of this form of couplinpr member T() is that it serves as a muliler for the air passing into the inlet member 25. The supply 69 is provided 'with a slotlilte port 82 formed'transversely therein. This port is controlled by the band-like valve H y which embraces the pipe oil. the pipa` being provided with an annular groove 8l to re ceive the valve, the valve being in etl'ect. a ring of spring material open at, one side to register with the port 82 and turned inwardly at 85 to provide a stop. the stop ro acting with the ends of the port.. A finger piece 86 is provided for the valve 83. This simple arrangement provides an effective valve in which the valve itself is its retaining means, that is, 'the valve is sprung over the pifpe to engage the annular Igroove therein and is retained by its own spring tension and the groove. NVhen it is desired to admit. cool air. this valve 83 is adjusted to admit the desired amount or if it is desired not to provide any heated air. the valve is fully opened.

In the modified construction shown in Fig. XVII. the pipe 69 is omitted and a skirt 8T substituted therefor. This skirt serves to protect the parts projecting below the lower end of the body member 2. The skirt is provided with a cross bar 88 threaded to engage the lower end of the member 25.

For opening' the fuel valve and the primar air inlet and feed valves without openin.;lr the valve (lo. as is sometimes desirable instarting the engine. the cani 7l is operated. 'lhis eam Tl is mounted on the shaft, T2 arranged below the lever head 48. The shaft TL) projects through the flange 7? on the ieariuj; plate l2 and is provided with a sleeve-lilte bearing;Y Trl. Un the outer end of the shaft 7'. is an arm 75. This arm is actuated b v the ram To on the shaft S9. the arm being provided with a roller 9U resting on the cam. For convenience in operation, the shaft Sl) is provided with a flexible extension $)l havingr a finger button 92. In practice. this finger button arranged to be manipulated from the seat of the operator. lVe preferably provide in this connection an index 93 harinar lgures or other indicia thereon indicating degrees of temperature, see Fig. I. in wbieh the index has numerals indicating temperatures from 80 above to l() below zero. The finger piece 92 is provided with an index linger 94. For convenienter we preferably provide a thermometer which is indicated in conventional form at 95, the thermometer bein; lr mounted on the index plate. With these features. the operator has before him means for determining the point to which the fuel valve Cl? and the primary inlet valves` should be opened in starting the 1 engine in different temperatures.

The operation of the device is as follows.- The fuel valve Il.) and the primary inlet \alve are normally slightly open. that is, when the throttle valve is closed. these fuel and prinmry inlet valves are adjusted so that they are slightly open. In starting the engine. the fuel and the primary valves a re opened independently of the. throttle by means of the finger piece 92 and the operating connections described in connection therewith` the index finger being turned to indicate approximately the temperature. ll'ith the engine started and "warmed up, the control or regulation is through the operalingir lever 52 which controls. as has been describedl both the fuel and primary inlet valves and the secondary or throttle valve ft). The air passing through the primary inlet supply to the earliureting chamber 31 is mixed with the fuel and passes with the fuel in a substantially dry mixture into the mixing chamber. where. if the valve 60 is rrpen. it is mixed with more air and passes on to the engine. The engine may be started and in fact run tlnough the carbureting chamber only. but this is not the purpose. and to secure the most satisfactory results. the earbureter should be operated for startingr and continued operation through both valve controlling means particularly when the temperature is low. In high temperatures, the en ine can be started without manipulation other than through the lever 52.

We have found in practice, that a substantially dry mixture issues from the nozzle of the primary carbureter This mixture is delivered laterally through the annular noz '/.le into the mixing' chamber and in such :l mame-r that il is evenly mixed with the air passing to tht` engine .so that a very even and cti'cctive mixture is secured.

'l`leneedle valve arranged as illustrated. opens uniformi) and increases the supply of the fuel as the supply of air is increased, thus maintaining the proper pro iortion.

'c have illustrated and de-cribed our im proved carbureter in the form in which we hate embodied thc same in practice.

\'e arc aware that considerable modification in structural detail is possible but be lieving that the disclosures ntilde will enable others to embody the mme as coalitions or laste or design may dictate. we have not attempted to illustrate or describe the various modifications herein.
